These three national army divisions continued to attack from the gap created by the explosion.
Under the fire cover of the Fourth Army Air Force, they were much easier to attack than before.
¡°At least they no longer need to use their own flesh and blood to resist the first round of fierce firepower on the Japanese defensive positions.
Before their charge began, the air forces of the Fourth Army would often form echelons to bomb and straf the Japanese troops.
After the large-scale destruction of their positions, the three national army divisions launched another attack, and the price they had to pay was much less.
At the same time, the Japanese army was also in the process. The position was bombed by the air force, destroying many firepower points.
This made it impossible for the Japanese army to organize effective defensive firepower in a short period of time.
In addition, these national army troops have a very strong desire to survive at this time.
This strong desire to survive prompted them to be more brave than usual. This is what is said about putting oneself to death and living later.
What¡¯s more, these three national army troops are not just a mob, but elite troops in the first theater of operations.
The 54th Division of the National Army led by Zhang Changshan resisted the fierce attack of nearly 10,000 Japanese troops in the rear. It was these two divisions as the vanguard that created a relatively safe environment.
This allowed the two national army divisions to attack forward without any worries and to launch continuous attacks on the Japanese positions in front.
Precisely because of this, the second line of defense set up by the Japanese army on the outskirts of Gaoshan Town was gradually breached by the fierce attack of the national army, tearing out a gap with a width of 5 kilometers.
Following this gap, the three divisions of the national army began to advance rapidly and launched a fierce attack on the last line of defense of the Japanese army stationed in Gaoshan Town.
At this time, darkness has completely fallen.
Xia Yang¡¯s air force was unable to provide support to them again.
So Xia Yang informed Zhang Changshan and others via telegram, hoping that they could continue the attack.
Because of the arrival of darkness, the air force had no way to bombard the Japanese positions at night.
Zhang Changshan knew that Xia Yang was extremely benevolent at this time, and to be precise, Xia Yang had no obligation to help him.
However, Zhang Changshan was very grateful that he could still dispatch his air force and carry out such a large-scale bombing to cover the retreat of his troops.
He replied to Xia Yang with a very brief but full of gratitude telegram.
Then, Changchang Han led his troops and began to rush towards the gap opened by the Japanese army.
At this time, the other two national army divisions on the periphery saw the three besieged national army divisions in front, and unexpectedly rushed to the outskirts of Gaoshan Town.
Even when they planned to attack the Japanese army's third line of defense, they were all very surprised and stunned.
Because according to their previous calculations, it would be difficult for Zhang Changshan to lead these three divisions to break through the Japanese defenses in the front.
But now Zhang Changshan unexpectedly rushed out with his troops, and he was able to join his own troops before he saw it.
¡°It would be unreasonable if their troops hadn¡¯t dispatched at this time to launch a pincer attack with the three divisions of the National Army on the Japanese troops in Gaoshan Town and open a way to break out of the encirclement.
By then, even if they get to Commander Tang, the commander of the First War Zone, it will be difficult for them to explain.
What's more, if they send troops now, they and the three divisions of the national army will launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
" Then the Japanese army in Gaoshan Town can be defeated very easily.
At that time, they can be regarded as a smooth favor. At the same time, they will also have a share when reporting military exploits to Shangfeng.
"The two national army division commanders are very willing to do this kind of thing.
They immediately issued a combat order and ordered the two national army divisions on the periphery to immediately launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army in Gaoshan Town.
Coordinate the breakout operations of the other three national army divisions.
Late that night, the last 2,000 Japanese troops stationed in Gaoshan Town were also attacked by tens of thousands of people.
They were surrounded from all sides, while the Japanese troops in the rear and flanks were blocked by the superior forces of the first theater.
There is no way to approach and support the Japanese troops in Gaoshan Town.
This Japanese army was also tenacious and resisted until late at night.
?But because the national army¡¯s offensive was too fierce.
They really couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and finally had no choice but to retreat.
At this time, the three besieged national army divisions finally made a gap in the Japanese blockade.
These troops, who had been surrounded for two days, immediately poured into the gap in Gaoshan Town and began to flee outside.
At this time, the Japanese pursuit troops were still on the side and behind, pursuing them fiercely.
But this kind of pursuit can only allow them to annihilate some remaining soldiers.
As for the main force in the first theater, they have no choice but to encircle and annihilate them.
In the Japanese military headquarters, Taro Sakai was not satisfied with tonight's battle.
Because they did not expect that the Fourth Army would dispatch air forces to support the besieged national army.
According to the intelligence that Taro Sakai had previously obtained, Tang Enbo, the commander-in-chief of the national army in the first theater, seemed to be dissatisfied with the Fourth Army.
Even though the troops of the Fourth Army had formed an encirclement situation around Zhengzhou, they did not dispatch troops to help the Fourth Army attack Zhengzhou.
However, the Fourth Army ignored the previous suspicion and dispatched a large number of air forces to provide aerial fire support to the besieged national army and help them break out.
This was completely beyond Taro Sakai¡¯s expectation.
On the other hand, the Japanese army's anti-aircraft firepower is really limited, so they are really powerless in the face of the massive air force firepower of the Fourth Army.
¡°I can only watch helplessly as my own front line is blasted with gaps one after another.
Although in the telegram, Xia Yang promised Tang Enbo only a squadron of bombers and fighters.
But in fact, Xia Yang dispatched nearly a hundred fighter jets and bombers this time to bomb the Japanese positions.
When the Japanese army later counted the number of enemies annihilated, they found that after this battle, they had only annihilated less than 10,000 enemy troops.
This is not a fatal blow to the first theater. They still have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Zhengzhou area again.
Considering this, Taro Sakai began to issue orders after the three divisions of the national army jumped out of the encirclement.
He ordered the Japanese troops around Zhengzhou to shrink their defense lines and prepare to defend the enemy in the Zhengzhou area.
